May 22: Riverwood Public Star Party *** CANCELLED ***

*** CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER. NO BACKUP RAIN DAY ***
Unfortunately for the third time this year, we have to cancel our outreach due to weather.

The Riverwood Conservancy, Earthshine Astronomy and Space Science Organization and the Mississauga Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada present the CITY STAR PARTY at the RIVERWOOD CONSERVATORY at 9:00 p.m. on TUESDAY May 22. This event is free.

Jupiter offers great views as it’s very near opposition – the best time to view the planet. The Moon should offer some great opportunities for images with your cellphone camera! We might catch a glimpse of brilliant Venus before it sets, but Mars and Saturn are up much later, so we’ll miss them this time around. We should get a good look at some colourful double stars.
